AllMusic

Nitsuh Abebe of AllMusic gave it two and a half out of five stars, stating that the album contains few redeeming qualities and sounds dull compared to the band's previous output. Trouser Press wrote that "Milky Juicy is the band’s most adventurous, eclectic record. Comfortable in what it can do but undaunted by what it can’t, Tiny Lights rifles through a sample-book’s worth of styles, never sticking with one sound two songs in a row." Spin deemed the album "a whimsical AM-FM radio hybrid circa 1972 with the Beatles, Black Sabbath, Funkadelic, and Dusty Springfield beaming in." The New Yorker called the album "a delight" and a "breezy AM-influenced hodgepodge of rock, folk, jazz, blues, and R&B."
